wishing for one more
soundless day
swimming quietly
at the bottom of
a sea of written words
squealing and chirping
if any outside
the time held
between night
and day between
sleep and awakening

desidero un altro
giorno silenzioso
dove nuoto tranquilla
sul fondo di un mare
di parole scritte
stridii e cinguettii
ve ne fossero fuori
il tempo sospeso
tra la notte
e il giorno tra
il sonno e la veglia

This piece has that beautiful tension, again, ” … the time held between night and day between
sleep and awakening … ” somewhat similar to what I read and enjoyed in an earlier poem where you wrote about falling into sleep, and dreams, and fatigue. The first lines feel like an honorable longing, “Wishing for one more soundless day ..” and longings are profound.

I am lost for words ,for me this poem is tranquillity and the gentle longing for silence so wonderfully and again gently entwined it does not let the longing destroy the silence. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem which has just been lovely. Kathy.

Forgot to say I love the image of the beautiful little cherub angel so peaceful, the cracks on the face represent tears for me ; tears maybe caused as the peace is disturbed, it really is a great image to go with your poem here.
